subject

description

Changes in the photostimulated luminescence (PSL) spectrum of an electron irradiated KBr:Tl single crystal in relation to the A-luminescence spectrum upon direct activator ion excitation in the A-absorption band (AL) are found. Based on the view about the spatial correlation between F and activator hole centers, it is suggested that anion vacancy is an additional perturbing factor fot he activator (Tl+) excited (p-electron) state which is already subject to the dynamical Jahn-Teller effect. Dependences of the PSL efficiency on activator (In+) concentration in KBr:In samples irradiated by UV-light (6.30-6.45 eV), X-rays (30 keV or electrons (5.6 keV), are compared. The possible role of 6.45 eV photons is discussed in context with the hypothesis of efficient exciton energy transfer at room temperature (RT).© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
